The Greek gods look exactly like people because they are people,
glorified ancestors in the way of Cain, boasting of their exaltation of
humanity as the measure of all things in the post-Flood world. Despite
Socrates’ testimony that Zeus and Athena were his “ancestors,” this
significant interconnection has remained the overlooked key to
understanding our true origins—until now. (See www.genesisingreekart.com for the human genealogy of the gods). The 170 full-color ancient vase and sculpture images in this extraordinary book depict:

Zeus’ and Hera’s relation to the serpent-entwined apple tree

Cain killing Abel on the Parthenon

Seth-men as Centaurs seizing Cain-women as their wives (Genesis 6:2)

How the Greeks remembered Noah’s Flood • Naamah (Genesis 4:22), the Cain-woman who survived the Flood as Ham’s wife

Naamah/Athena consecrating her grandson Nimrod/Herakles to the way of Cain

Nimrod/Herakles usurping the authority of Noah/Nereus

The altar of Zeus in Pergamum as the throne of Satan from Revelation 2:13

Plato came from a wealthy, connected Athenian family and lived a
comfortable upper-class lifestyle until he met an odd little man named
Socrates, who showed him a new world of ideas and ideals. Socrates
taught Plato that a man must use reason to attain wisdom, and that the
life of a lover of wisdom, a philosopher, was the pinnacle of
achievement. Plato dedicated himself to living that ideal and went on to
create a school, his famed Academy, to teach others the path to
enlightenment through contemplation.

However, the same Academy that spread Plato’s teachings also fostered
his greatest rival. Born to a family of Greek physicians, Aristotle had
learned early on the value of observation and hands-on experience.
Rather than rely on pure contemplation, he insisted that the truest path
to knowledge is through empirical discovery and exploration of the
world around us. Aristotle, Plato’s most brilliant pupil, thus settled
on a philosophy very different from his instructor’s and launched a
rivalry with profound effects on Western culture.

The two men disagreed on the fundamental purpose of the philosophy.
For Plato, the image of the cave summed up man’s destined path, emerging
from the darkness of material existence to the light of a higher and
more spiritual truth. Aristotle thought otherwise. Instead of rising
above mundane reality, he insisted, the philosopher’s job is to explain
how the real world works, and how we can find our place in it. Aristotle
set up a school in Athens to rival Plato’s Academy: the Lyceum. The
competition that ensued between the two schools, and between Plato and
Aristotle, set the world on an intellectual adventure that lasted
through the Middle Ages and Renaissance and that still continues today.

From Martin Luther (who named Aristotle the third great enemy of true
religion, after the devil and the Pope) to Karl Marx (whose utopian
views rival Plato’s), heroes and villains of history have been inspired
and incensed by these two master philosophers—but never outside their
influence.

Accessible, riveting, and eloquently written, The Cave and the Light
provides a stunning new perspective on the Western world, certain to
open eyes and stir debate. Read more...

In this superbly illustrated volume, Athens and Rome, the two
greatest cities of antiquity, spring to life through the masterful pen
of Peter Connolly. For the first time ever, all the evidence has been
painstakingly pieced together to reconstruct the architectural wonders
of these mighty civilizations. By re-creating their public buildings,
their temples, shops, and houses, Connolly reveals every aspect of a
person's life in glorious detail, including religion, food, drama,
games, and the baths. The first part of The Ancient City covers the
development of Athens in the hundred years following the Persian Wars,
which began in the 4th century B.C. These chapters encompass the Golden
Years of Athens; the establishment of democracy; the building of the
Parthenon, the Erechtheum, and the municipal buildings of the Agora; a
typical Athenian workday; and the construction of the Long Walls.

Part II examines the development of Rome in the hundred years from
Nero (emperor of Rome from A.D. 54 to 68) to Hadrian (emperor of Rome
from A.D. 117 to 138)--the great building period of Rome. Visit Nero's
Golden Palace and the buildings subsequently built over it, the
Colosseum, the Flavian Palace, the Baths of Trajan, the Temple of Venus
and Roma, as well as other buildings such as the Circus Maximus, the
Theatre of Marcellus, and Trajan's Forum and Market. In addition to
reading about the great monuments and moments of classical Greece and
Rome, readers learn about a typical day in the life of an Athenian and a
Roman. They read about--and see--the houses people inhabited; attend
5-day festivals and go to the theatre; fight great battles and witness
the birth of Rome's navy; visit temples and spend a day at the races.
The fascinating artwork and vivid descriptions provide a window into the
great history of these two extraordinary cities and civilizations. Read more...
